Will Congressional Testimony Help Any Of Us? - Page 2

congressional inquiries are a slow train and I can't see how they will help GM, unless the CEO has solid compassionate reassuring message, admitting the past failures and providing a plan in the future overcoming past errors.

These hearings won't solve anything, the most dangerous place in the world to be is between a politician and camera.

People are crying wolf, the C7 was just released. Obviously there are going to be bugs with the first batch.

Read about the Remington model 700 safety and trigger problems some time. This just shows how companies do what ever it takes to skate around a problem that they caused to save cost at the expense of human life. It was found that the trigger design was flawed before the gun went into production. Meanwhile Remington silently settled law suit after law suits with non disclosure agreements in an effort to keep it under wraps. It took them seventy years to change the design. They market it as this great new trigger instead of a fix to the original design.

This is why we need hearings like this because too many companies won't do the right thing without being forced to do so.

Can you read period? My point still stands.

The C7 issue has little to do with GM covering something up, that's normal new gen problems.

I think you missed the point of the Carbuzz article, and by extension, the point of my post. Don't forget that Tuesday (the day the article was posted) was April Fools' Day.
